Erin Brockovich offered guidance and support to South Bay residents plagued with black drinking water while addressing the community at the Elks Lodge in Gardena on Thursday, April 30, 2015.

Erin Brockovich encouraged the community to organize and fight for their right to clean drinking water. She offered her resources to investigate the situation, pressure the EPA to force the Golden State Water Company to properly maintain its delivery system, and explore the possibility of a class action lawsuit on behalf of those affected by the sludgy water.
